UPDATE 5-16-19: GOOD NEWS!!! I contacted the other vet in town again and got ahold of someone who pulled some strings for me. Skittles saw the vet today!!! She got a shot for her fever, two weeks worth of oral antibiotics, and a thorough medical exam. The vet says all the same things the last...

Oh, believe me, I am scared. I also know from experience how bad a tooth infection can be. But yes, I am going to try. I want my little Skittles to live, whatever it takes. That's why I started a GoFundMe, because it seemed like the only way I'd be able to help her in time. I've even contacted...

Unfortunately, the only other vet close enough (the vehicle I have can't drive for more than about 20 minutes) is an emergency vet and they will charge me double. I don't think they do payment plans either. I wouldn't care about the price if I had enough, but I don't think the fundraiser would...

Thank you so much!!! The money will be put to good use, I promise you that! ♡

UPDATE 5-16-19: Skittles is going rough, but I think and hope she will hold out. Thanks to some good hearted people, to whom I thank each and every one of you for all your help, advice, and kind words, I have reached the goal, 320/320$, this morning at about 7:30. I cannot express the level of...

You dont think she will throw it up? If she does, should i stop?

5-15-19 SECOND UPDATE: A bubble of infection is forming again at the base of Skittles' tooth. She will be drooling any day now, and then I will have about 3 days or less before it becomes a life threatening emergency again. The GoFundMe is currently at 235/320$. We are so close to the goal...

Update 5-15-19: It pains me to say that Skittles has begun struggling to breathe. She is waking several times in the night because of it and coughing and wheezing very loudly. I have checked her mouth, and while she hasn't started drooling yet, I'm almost certain that's the next thing to come...

Update 5-13-19 @7:48pm: Skittles is ok for now, but her symptoms are getting bad again. Her sneezing is getting worse, she has begun wheezing, and must breathe through her mouth. She hasn't started drooling again yet (thank goodness), but she is lethargic and sometimes refuses treats. She has...

Yes, it's on my Facebook. And no, she isn't bleeding, the antibiotic stopped it for now but her symptoms are returning. I asked about pain meds at the vets, but he said if she was eating they weren't necessary .

Gofundme update: I have posted the bill from the original visit. Toward the bottom, you can also see where the follow up for tooth removal was set on the 7th, Tuesday, which I believe I discussed previously. I will be posting all receipts and a video of the vet visit for all to see. So far...

Update 5-11-2019: Skittles is still somewhat okay after the antibiotic, but her appointment to get her teeth pulled was supposed to be on Tuesday, the 7th. Her symptoms are returning much faster this time. She is sneezing violently all the time, her fever is returning, and her appetite is...

Skittles was a stray cat that I adopted because she was starving to death and pregnant when she came to me. When I first found this cat, she was freezing in the winter and came to me out of desperation just to sit by the fire (Skittles is named Skittles because of how incredibly skittish she...

Hello, everyone. I am here with some unfortunate news. I went to the vet recently after Skittles started to show some troubling signs. I couldn't really afford it, but I did it anyway. Here's the basic: Skittles has a bad tooth fracture that was severely infected. She has been given antibiotics...

She's a stray, so i can't say for sure, but I'm thinking about 3-4 weeks. :D
